Facebook is working on a Facebook disclaimer page, toggle bar for notifications & more, while Instagram is yet again testing new features for Stories.
Facebook is working on a disclaimer page that clarifies how your ID or official documents are used upon identity confirmation submissions.
They state that the information would not be shared on your profile and would be deleted within 30 days of submission.

Additionally, Facebook is testing an ability to turn notifications on or off for a specific tab of the platform. For instance, if you only actively use Marketplace & Groups on Facebook, you can turn the notifications on for those segments and turn the rest off.
